As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Mr. Vincent has a sincere compassion for the veteran community. After his military service, Mr. Vincent went on to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services, is a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, and holds a Master Degree in Social Work from the University of New England.

During Mr. Vincent’s leadership in Hawaii he was recognized in 2007 as one of the “ten people who made a difference in Hawaii”.  In 2008, he was awarded the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans “Unsung Hero” award.

Beyond his professional community involvement, Mr. Vincent is a Weinberg Fellow and proud member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
“any veteran who sleeps on the same streets he/she was once asked to defend is a dishonor to all of us, and it is our job at U.S.VETS to work ourselves out of a job”.
